:Thanks! Started following Spaceflight in mid-2018 and I haven’t been able to stop since. (So the funny thing is that that means I missed the first Falcon Heavy launch, and I missed the other two because I was occupied...hopefully I can watch the one that was just announced today.

== Lists of launches ==

Recently, in wikiproject space flight, you posted a comment in the discussion for wikiproject spaceflight about some new lists of launches. All except for [[List of Delta 4-M launches]],[[Draft:List of Atlas LV3A launches|List of Atlas LV3A launches]], and [[Draft:List of Atlas LV3B launches|List of Atlas LV3B launches]] have more than 10 launches. While [[List of Delta 4-M launches]] is not notable and does not have 10 launches, there is nowhere else in the encyclopedia to move its information too. [[Draft:List of Atlas LV3A launches|List of Atlas LV3A launches]] is notable because it was the first rocket to ever launch according to some sources (Space launch Now Space launch schedule and other space launch apps). [[Draft:List of Atlas LV3B launches|List of Atlas LV3B launches]] is notable because it was the main rocket in NASA’s Mercury program. Can you please review them? Thanks in advance!

I have notice on some your recent contributions to my articles that there are some formatting mistakes. On Antares alone, you accidentally combined 2 sections that would make no sense to combine (adding About the Antares to AFC submission pending review), which I fixed. Also, the note at the bottom of launch history is not linked to any place in the table. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/100.2.238.109|100.2.238.109]] ([[User talk:100.2.238.109#top|talk]]) 10:12, 21 March 2021 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
